first!
For his next jump he will attempt the same stunt…but driving a school bus.
@nops
Go kill yourself.
Okay, I know this thing. Jumpin over dem babies is meant to represent badness going past their life – basically, helping them avoid bad luck
This is, if the jumper doesnt make it over dem babies, well, poor fuckers were doiomed to bad luck anyways
Is this Pamplona’s evil twin sister city’s celebration of “the Jumping of the Infants”?
@nops
Just why.
photoshop
@Dudel
Not photoshop actually, a spanish festival. I was there for one you see.
@Trotski
Please.
The best part is the faces of the onlookers…
I love the poor guy in the back raising his daughter to get a better view, only she isn’t paying attention.
hes not going to make it…
His car little Pugeot died so he needed a “baby jump”!! Yes I said it!! Yes I just totally failed… but at least I have meth..
and next on the baby Olympics, the baby punt
Elvis! Lunch is ready. I made your favorite, peanut butter and nanna sammichs with bacon.
Why would people offer up their baby for something like that?!
@cheewowwa
They’re kidnapped.
its called El Colacho, and its a tradition in parts of Spain. they do it during Corpus Christi. the man represents the devil and badluck, passing by the kids/babies, not effecting them. for more info look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_jumping
@cheewowwa
Cause if they survived being jumped over by Elvis in their early childhood, they would have great chance to have long and succesful life.
But I don’t want to imagine what would happen when more 6 children were born at the same time and they’d need to make 3rd or even 4th row.
Maybe it’s part of government population-control policy. ;o)
As I recall, the guy’s supposed to represent the Devil… in his snazzy jogging ensemble.
I love the way he’s got baggies over his shoes. So, you know, just in case he does land on the kids, he won’t get his shoes dirty.
Love the guy in the suit… ‘I approve…’
This is what happens in countries without the internet or cable tv
WTF! This is soooo dangerous!
Don’t they know pillows can suffocate babies? Even if–
Holy shit there’s a guy jumping over the babies. I totally missed that part!
i like how all the onlookers look horrified, but you just know some of those kids are theirs.
I think the babies actually have some sort of collective psychic energy. They are suspending that guy in the air above their very heads! No wonder the crowd is stunned! Super evil geniuses of the future!
That chick with her hand over her mouth has one epic t-shirt
I wonder if he makes all the motorcycle noises as well?
I would be tempted to kick his ass if I saw that. It’s one thing to perform a similar stunt jumping over willing knowledgeable adults with a bike or other such vehicle but babies don’t have the ability to give consent. This is stupid and dangerous plain and simple. What if retard stumbles or some other such thing. Anyone who thinks this does anything other than put babies at an unnescessary risk is plain stupid.
@James
Hey Captain Obvious! Settle down, switch to decaf, and have a cookie.
No one here said they wanted to do this to babies. We’re just commenting on a bizzar picture. And why kick his ass and not the parents of the babies? Hhhmmm……
@Allison
Bravo!
Perhaps a large drop-down should appear with a phrase like “Stay cool! Enjoy the WTF! Take a couple of Valium and chill!” when people register here!
@The What Now?
Nah, they’re just grey
This is a Mexican(?) tradition. The guy jumping over the babies is the “devil” and when he jumps over them he supposedly rids them of evil.
religion can kill.
SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!!!!! Come and see Enrique “baby leaper” Lopez jump over TWO ROWS of infants and two larger than life pillows. This sunday only at la cas de jesus in Mexico City! BE THERE! Adults $5, kids $2 bring one kid the second at half price, BABIES FREE! The first 10 guests get a free “baby leaper” t-shit
oh my god, i used this picture for a report i did in spanish class about the spanish baby-jumping festival! they have a holiday where guys jump over a bunch of babies (representing the devil?) for good luck apparently…
THIS NOT A STREET PERFORMANCE! Its a spanish festival that represents the passing of evil over the child. The guy jumping is the devil. He’s supposed to jump over them to show that evil has passed over them and don’t touch them.
@James
It’s a religious event for them and they take it very seriously. I’ve been to one. Yay!
disgusting. i only wish it were a photoshopped image.
Come on!
No one single child was injured by jumper in this traditional day in last 50 years. If you want to finish with stupid and dangerous traditions, then ban weapons. Is more an ancient supersticion than a religious festival [both kinds are stupid anyway]and it’s not spread at all, it is only performed in ONE SMALL VILLAGE. Parents are really proud of “using” their babies to keep alive such and old tradition. From my point of view is stupid, but please stop banning everything in the name of safety. We are old enough to be responsible of our acts. Or how it is said in Spain “Que ya tenemos los huevos negros” [Our balls are already black]
@Furburt
WTF are you talking about? I’m from SPAIN, we do BULLFIGHTING not CHILD-RISKY-JUMPING-MAYBETHEYDIE!
Lies!
@m
OH MY GOD, I Just can’t believe how mentally challenged you could be to think this is really a SPANISH FESTIVAL, I don’t know which your country is, but I hope they do CHILD-BBQ every night so not RETARDS like you grown enough to post bullshit on the internet.
I would kill to have his sweet suit.
Isnt this some ritual in Spain where you have a man dressed up as the devil jump over your children so they they can be safe from EVILLL?
